Sand mastic for Curdridge and the surrounding area: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.

- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
Sand mastic in Curdridge, done properly
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. If you have open joints round the window box and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, we can help, on brick reveals, stone surrounds and timber door frames alike.
Around Curdridge, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common problems we fix in Curdridge
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away on the stone or timber.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
Managing a site like Curdridge Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How much experience the applicator has
Landlord and commercial work in Curdridge
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Curdridge and across Hampshire. Several sites can go on one quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Curdridge
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall, so dealing with it now protects both. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Curdridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Curdridge: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Curdridge?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Curdridge in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Curdridge is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What exactly is sand mastic?
A traditional pointing material made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, used between timber frames and stone or brick.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
Your local planning authority is the one to ask. They’ll tell you if consent is needed for work to your windows.

What else we do in Curdridge
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. For a village or hamlet like Curdridge, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Advice
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Sashes that need overhauling
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Timber that has rotted
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Frames and glazing around Curdridge
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Botley station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
